Cpl Alan Babin, USA, Ret.

After the events of September 11, 2001, Corporal Alan “Doc” Babin, Jr., enlisted in the Army at the age of 22. He wanted to do something where he could help people and insisted on becoming a medic with the elite 82nd Airborne Division. Alan was constantly a body-in-motion, surrounded by friends and brightening peoples lives with his amazing smile.

Alan has survived over 70 surgeries, a stroke, meningitis and a long, complicated medical journey. Doctors expected him to live out his life in a nursing home – but God (and his mom) had a different plan. You can read more about him here…
